Changing Default Contacts to Public Folder Contact
Hi,
What im trying to do is change the default "contacts" to our public folder contacts. Ive set the public folder contacts as the default in Address book but in Outlook 2003 / 2007 when i change to Contacts view, the default in there is my personal contacts i need to find a way to change this to the public folder contacts. The reason i need to do this, is when a user right clicks on an email and selects add to contacts, it is currently saving by default to his or her personal contacts not the public folder contacts. And help would be appriciated. Thanks

Changing Default Contacts to Public Folder Contact
The default contacts folder cannot be changed. It is always the contacts folder in the user's default information store.
To save a new contact to a folder other than the default, choose File | Move to Folder instead of Save and Close. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Jason Smith" wrote in message ...
